Critics Consensus

Hardcore Jason Statham fans may enjoy parts of Wild Card, but all other action aficionados need not apply.

3/5

Heaven knows what Brian De Palma (originally slated to direct) would have made of it, but nuts-and-bolts man Simon West, with whom Statham remade The Mechanic, keeps things simple.

[It's] offbeat and entertaining enough to stand a fair chance of achieving cult status in future years.

Bar. Big breasts. Bodyguard. Jason Statham! Cockney, mate. Vegas, innit?

Could have been an interesting look at the downside of Las Vegas life. Or it could have been a kick-butt action movie. As it is, it is neither.

As Nick Wild, Jason Statham is perfection. Quiet, brooding, introspective but with a wild streak, no one can build tension with silence, stillness and just a stare like Statham.

It all feels like a semi-engaging flashback episode of a show about a Las Vegas "bodyguard" ...

Statham butchers people. With a variety of objects.

At the hour point in a less than 90 min film I checked with my partner "is there any story? , am I missing the point?" NO! was the answer. Funny thing is I don't mind a film that meanders E.G. (lost in translation). But that outing had a script and actors, this sadly has neither.

I love Statham movies. I know he always plays the same character, but that's what I love about it. I always know exactly what to expect. But this movie is just bad.

Never watch a film that's been reviewed badly by others, watch it first. This is a very good movie. Hope you're reading this after.

the movie is confusing, from action to cutting a mans ball and gambling. Great action scenes performed by Jason Statham, but i can't stand the weak and confusing story.
